Power sources  
This set should be operated only  
Water and Moisture  
Do not use power-line operated sets  
near water - for example, near a  
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or  
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or  
near a swimming pool, etc.  
from the type of power source  
indicated on the marking label. If  
you are not sure of the type of  
electrical power supplied to your  
home, consult your dealer or local power company.  
For those sets designed to operate from battery power,  
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.  
Power-Cord Protection  
Route the power cord so that it is  
not likely to be walked on or  
pinched by items placed upon or  
against them, paying particular  
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where  
the cord exits from the appliance.  
US  
Grounding or Polarization  
This set is equipped with a polarized ac power cord  
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or  
with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a  
third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions  
below:  
Accessories  
Do not place the set on an  
unstable cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table. The set may  
fall, causing serious injury to a  
child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use  
only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended  
by the manufacturer.  
For the set with a polarized AC power  
cord plug:  
This plug will fit into the power  
outlet only one way. This is a  
safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the  
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your  
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not  
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by  
forcing it in.  
An appliance and cart combination  
should be moved with care. Quick  
stops, excessive force, and uneven  
surfaces may cause the appliance  
and cart combination to overturn.  
For the set with a three-wire grounding  
type AC plug:  
This plug will only fit into a  
S3125A  
grounding-type power outlet. This  
is a safety feature. If you are  
unable to insert the plug into the  
outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet  
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the  
grounding plug.  
Ventilation  
The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for  
necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of  
the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots  
and openings must never be blocked or covered.  
Never cover the slots and  
openings with a cloth or  
other materials.  
Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets,  
extension cords or convenience  
receptacles beyond their capacity,  
since this can result in fire or  
electric shock.  
Never block the slots and  
openings by placing the set  
on a bed, sofa, rug or other  
similar surface.  
Object and Liquid Entry  
Never push objects of any kind into  
the set through openings as they  
may touch dangerous voltage points  
or short out parts that could result in  
a fire or electric shock. Never spill  
liquid of any kind on the set.

Service  
Never place the set in a  
confined space, such as a  
bookcase, or built-in  
cabinet, unless proper  
ventilation is provided.  
Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing  
to qualified service personnel under the following  
conditions:  
Do not place the set near or  
over a radiator or heat  
register, or where it is  
When the power cord or plug is  
damaged or frayed.  
exposed to direct sunlight.  
Antennas  
If liquid has been spilled or  
objects have fallen into the  
set.  
Outdoor antenna grounding  
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed,  
follow the precautions below.  
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the  
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light  
or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with  
such power lines or circuits.  
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA  
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN  
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER  
LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM  
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.  
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide  
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static  
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code  
provides information with respect to proper grounding of  
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in  
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection  
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the  
grounding electrode.  
If the set has been exposed  
to rain or water.  
If the set has been  
subject to excessive  
shock by being  
dropped, or the cabinet  
has been damaged.  
If the set does not operate  
normally when following  
the operating instructions.  
Adjust only those controls  
that are specified in the  
operating instructions. Improper adjustment  
of other controls may result in damage and  
will often require extensive work by a  
qualified technician to restore the set to normal  
operation.  
Antenna Grounding According to the  
National Electrical Code  
When the set exhibits a distinct change in  
performance - this indicates a need for service.

by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics  
as the original parts.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric  
shock, or other hazards.  
NEC-NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
Lightning  
For added protection for this set during a lightning  
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long  
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and  
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will  
prevent damage to the set due to lightning and power-  
line surges.  
Safety Check  
Upon completion of any service or  
repairs to the set, ask the service  
technician to perform routine  
safety checks (as specified by the  
manufacturer) to determine that  
the set is in safe operating  
condition.

On operation  
• If the player is brought directly from a cold  
to a warm location, or is placed in a very  
damp room, moisture may condense on the  
lenses inside the player. Should this occur,  
the player may not operate properly. In this  
case, remove the disc and leave the player  
turned on for about half an hour until the  
moisture evaporates.  
Precautions  
On safety  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not  
place objects filled with liquids, such as  
vases, on the apparatus.  
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into  
the cabinet, unplug the player and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
• When you move the player, take out any  
discs. If you don’t, the disc may be  
damaged.  
On power sources  
On adjusting volume  
• The player is not disconnected from the AC  
power source as long as it is connected to  
the wall outlet, even if the player itself has  
been turned off.  
• If you are not going to use the player for a  
long time, be sure to disconnect the player  
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC  
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull  
the cord.  
Do not turn up the volume while listening to  
a section with very low level inputs or no  
audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be  
damaged when a peak level section is played.  
On cleaning  
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a  
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild  
detergent solution. Do not use any type of  
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent  
such as alcohol or benzine.  
On placement  
• Place the player in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the  
player.  
• Do not place the player on a soft surface  
such as a rug.  
• Do not place the player in a location near  
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical  
shock.  
• Do not install the player in an inclined  
position. It is designed to be operated in a  
horizontal position only.  
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners  
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens  
cleaners (including wet or spray types).  
These may cause the apparatus to  
malfunction.  
On replacement of parts  
In the event that this unit is repaired, repaired  
parts may be collected for reuse or recycling  
purposes.  
• Keep the player and the discs away from  
equipment with strong magnets, such as  
microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.  
• Do not place heavy objects on the player.  
• Install the player so that the AC power cord  
can be unplugged from the wall socket  
immediately in the event of trouble.

still video image or on-screen display image  
on your television screen indefinitely. If  
you leave the still video image or on-screen  
display image displayed on your TV for an  
extended period of time you risk permanent  
damage to your television screen. Plasma  
display panel televisions and projection  
televisions are susceptible to this.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your player, please consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.

• One-Touch Play (page 26)  
• System-Power Off  
When you turn the TV off by using the [/1 button  
on the TV’s remote, the components compatible  
with HDMI CONTROL function turn off  
automatically.  
To prepare for the ‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync  
features  
Set “HDMI CONTROL” to “ON” in “CUSTOM  
SETUP” (page 60). For details on TV setting, refer  
to the operating instructions supplied with the TV.  
NORMAL (INTERLACE)  
Select this setting when:  
– your TV does not accept progressive  
signals, or,  
– your TV is connected to jacks other than the

About DVD software types and the  
conversion method  
DVD software can be divided into two types:  
film-based software and video-based  
software.  
Video-based software is derived from TV,  
such as dramas and sitcoms, and displays  
images at 30 frames/60 fields per second.  
Film-based software is derived from film and  
displays images at 24 frames per second.  
Some DVD software contains both video and  
film.  
Using the PROGRESSIVE button  
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the  
front panel, you can select the signal format in  
which the player outputs video signals  
(Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion  
method for progressive signals.  
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE button,  
the display changes as follows:  
In order for these images to appear natural on  
your screen when output in progressive  
format, the progressive signals need to be  
converted to match the type of DVD software  
that you are watching.

NORMAL (INTERLACE)  
Note  
PROGRESSIVE AUTO  
Select this setting when:  
When you play video-based software in progressive  
signal format, sections of some types of images may  
appear unnatural due to the conversion process  
when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO  
OUT jacks. Images from the S VIDEO OUT and  
LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they  
are output in the normal (interlace) format.  
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,  
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT  
VIDEO OUT jacks.  
Normally select this under the above  
condition. This automatically detects the  
software type, and selects the appropriate  
conversion method.  
Note that the picture will not be clear or no  
picture will appear if you select these settings  
when either of the above conditions is not met.

TV Virtual Surround  
Settings (TVS)  
TVS DYNAMIC THEATER, TVS DYNAMIC,  
TVS WIDE  
This mode is effective when the distance  
between the front L and R speakers is short,  
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.  
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front  
speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets  
you enjoy surround sound effects by using  
sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers  
from the sound of the front speakers (L: left,  
R: right) without using actual rear speakers.  
TVS was developed by Sony to produce  
surround sound for home use using just a  
stereo TV.  
This only works when playing a multichannel  
Dolby audio sound track. Furthermore, if the  
player is set up to output the signal from the  
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/  
HDMI OUT jack, the surround effect will  
only be heard when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is  
set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page  
TVS NIGHT  
This feature is useful when you want to hear  
the dialog and enjoy the surround sound  
effects of “TVS WIDE” at low volume.  
TVS STANDARD  
Use this setting when you want to use TVS  
with 2 separate speakers.  
Notes  
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal  
for the rear speakers, the surround effects cannot  
be heard.  
• When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off  
the surround setting of the connected TV or audio  
component.  
• Make sure that your listening position is between  
and at an equal distance from your speakers and  
that the speakers are located in similar  
surroundings.  
SUR  
• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT”  
function in the same way.  
• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or  
COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack and set “DOLBY  
DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” and “DTS”  
to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound will come  
from your speakers but it will not have the  
SURROUND effect.  
• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast  
Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can  
change the TVS modes.

El software de DVD (videodisco digital)  
puede dividirse en dos tipos: el software  
basado en cine y el software basado en video.  
El software basado en video proviene de  
programas de televisión, como telenovelas y  
comedias, y muestra imágenes a 30  
fotogramas/60 campos (25 fotogramas/50  
campos) por segundo. El software basado en  
cine proviene de películas y muestra  
imágenes a 24 fotogramas por segundo.  
Existe software de DVD (videodisco digital)  
que contiene tanto video como películas.  
Para que estas imágenes parezcan naturales  
en la pantalla cuando se emiten en formato  
progresivo, las señales progresivas deben  
convertirse para que coincidan con el tipo de  
software de DVD (videodisco digital) que  
está viendo.
